译按:这其实不是出自多专业的足球网站，而是出自美国运动媒体界的巨挚SI运动画刊， 但是我想这篇有个好处在於美国人对於欧洲的足球知识并不会比台湾人好多少，所以我想 这篇是给欧洲足球较为陌生的朋友们一篇不错的介绍文。 http://0rz.tw/9145B BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) -As one of Romania's all-time great strikers, Victor Piturca scored hundreds of goals. Now, the tall, brooding coach has a chance to reach an even bigger goal at next month's European Championship - if he can manage to get Romania through a tough group that includes the Netherlands and World Cup finalists Italy and France. 他是罗马尼亚最伟大的射手之一，他曾攻进过数百球，而现在，维克特˙皮图卡(Victor Piturca)，这位高大且喜好沉思的教练，在欧锦赛将有个得到更大荣誉的机会--如果他能 够带领罗马尼亚在死亡之组中胜出，而他的对手将会是强悍的荷兰队，以及上届世界盃 决赛组合意大利及法国队。 Piturca, who turned 53 on Thursday, has been called tenacious, stubborn, disciplined and dour. In qualifying for Euro 2008, however, the coach was nearly perfect, leading Romania to the top if its group ahead of the Netherlands with a 9-2-1 record. "Piturca is an ideal coach for Romania,'' nationally respected soccer commentator Ilie Dobre said. 刚满53岁的皮图卡，是个强韧、顽固、重纪律以及严肃的教练。在角逐08年欧锦赛决赛资 格的过程中，这位教练的表现堪称完美，带领罗马尼亚以9胜2和一败的成绩超越荷兰队 成为该组的头名，并藉此取得08年欧锦赛决赛资格。"皮图卡是罗马尼亚最理想的教练。" 在罗马尼亚相当受到尊敬的足球评论员伊都伯烈(Ilie Dobre)如此说到。 A native of the southern Romanian region of Olt famed for producing ambitious and proud people, Piturca lacks the quirkiness of former coach Anghel Iordanescu, who prepared for each important match by kissing Orthodox icons. But what Piturca lacks in frills and gimmicks he makes up for in his quiet determination to get good results. 皮图卡出生在罗马尼亚南部区域中，以盛产拥有强大企图心以及自尊的人们而闻名的奥尔 特县(Olt)，他没有如前任教头伊度恩斯古在重要比赛前亲吻东正教圣徽般令人印象深刻的 举动，但他这种不哗众取宠的态度以及他沉静的决断却得到相当良好的结果。 After holding the Netherlands to a 0-0 draw in Rotterdam in Euro 2008 qualifying, Piturca said: "Holland didn't play well today because we didn't let them.'' Romania also beat the Dutch team 1-0 at home. 皮图卡在08年欧锦赛资格赛时於鹿特丹以0-0逼平荷兰队後，他说"荷兰踢得并不好，因为 我们并没有让他们有发挥的空间"之後，他在主场也以1-0击败荷兰。 Piturca, who relies on discipline to build a strong team, has also gained respect for not giving preferential treatment to star players. He dropped flamboyant striker Adrian Mutu from a friendly at Spain in November 2006 because the player was busy with his daughter's christening. "I want my players to be 100 percent focused,'' said Piturca, whose team went on to win 1-0. 这位相信纪律才能成就强队的教练同时也因为他对待明星球员时一视同仁的态度而受到 广泛的推崇。在06年11月时於西班牙的友谊赛时他并没有带上明星射手穆图(Adrian Mutu ，因为穆图正忙於女儿的洗礼。"我想要我的球员百分之百的专心"他如此说到，同时他也 在该地以1-0取得胜果。 Piturca began playing soccer when he was 14, and he retired in 1990 after a 20-year career in which he helped Steaua Bucharest win the 1986 European Cup. He also played for French team Lens and FC Scornicesti, the home team of former Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. Piturca went into coaching shortly after he retired, and he first got the national team coaching job in 1999. Despite qualifying for Euro 2000, Piturca was fired after a dispute with star players Gheorghe Hagi and Gheorghe Popescu. 皮图卡在14岁时开始踢足球，而他在90年结束了他20年的光辉生涯，他曾帮助布加勒斯特 星队(Steaua Bucharest)赢得86年的欧洲盃(European Cup，即欧洲冠军盃的前身)，他也 曾为法甲朗斯(Lens)，以及他的同乡，前罗马尼亚独裁者齐奥塞斯库(Nicolae Ceausescu) 的家乡球队FC Scornicesti踢过球。皮图卡在退休後不久即投入执教的工作，他於99年首 次获得罗马尼亚国家队的执教工作，却在争取00年欧锦赛时因为与队上明星球员哈吉( Gheorghe Hagi，喀尔巴仟山的马拉多纳，罗马尼亚史上最伟大的球员之一)，以及波佩斯 库(Gheorghe Popescu，罗马尼亚黄金一代的後场铁墙)发生争吵而遭到开除。 He took over again in 2004 and has built the team into a solid unit that opponents can't take lightly. Although few believe the team will advance from its Euro 2008 group, Dobre used a common Romanian expression to describe his belief that anything is possible. "The ball is round,'' he said. 不过他在04年再度获得了这项工作，而且把罗马尼亚建造成了一支难以轻取的强悍球队， 虽然仅仅只有一些人认为他们可以在08年欧锦赛小组赛脱颖而出，不过都伯烈说了句大家 都知道的俗谚，"球是圆的。"他说到。 --
